they commence to eat, and IL is certainly so
with plants. Water applied TO soil already
wet 10 IN injury. A plant that never
seems to want water is in doubtful con.
dltlon in regard to its health.
In the cultivation of garden crops, the
hoe and rake should be continually at
work. Weeds should be taken in hand
before they are barely out of the seed leaf,
and one-half the usual labor of vegetable
gardening would be avoided. Hoeing or
earthing up of most garden crops is of i'm
mense advantage in nearly every case. A
TAR trial, say on every other row of a bed
of cabbages even. will show a great differ
ence in favor of the earthed-up plants as
compared with those subjected to fiat Gull
ture.
In sowing seeds it is we'll to remember
that though the soil should be deep and
finely pulverized, yet loose condition is
unfavorable to good growth. After the
seeds IRE sown, heavy rolling would be
great advantage. This practice, though
often pursued in farm crops, is seldom ex-
tended to garden work.-lhe Gardeners

One reason why the price of pork varies
SO rapidly in response TO a full corn crop is
because no kind of farm stock can be null
tiplied SO often rs the hog. A good breed
ing SOW of mature age can be bred three
times within year, and ut the end of the
first twelve months the sow pigs of the first
litter may be and usually are set to breed
ing. Allowing eight pigs to a litter, which
is a fair number for q good SOW, the origi-
nal one will have increased to twenty-five
at the end of the first year. Young sows
will not give rs many pigs, but by the time
the first litter drop their young, tho second
litter of sows will be ready to breed, and
there may be another litter of pigs from the
original parent of the entire stock. If the
SOW ever grows too old to breed nobody
has learned how old that is, though they
commonly become ugly or mischievous
after they are three or four years of age.
It is evident that with plenty of feed, an
winters mild enough not to interfere with
breeding, there is scarcely any limit to
the increase which may soon be made
from hogs, provided the price of pork
shows any profit in the business. We are
less in danger Of permanent scarcity of
pork products than Of any other kind of
meat. II it were not for the prevalence of
hog cholera, and the especial liability of
animals bred in large numbers Of this dis
ease, there would be almost q certainty of
a constant glut on the pork market. There
are enormous ereas of country where grow
ing corn and turning it into pork would be,
but for disease, the most profitable indus
try that farmers could follow.

Named for Their Grandparents.

The attention of parents with chill
dren to name is respectfully called to
the melancholy paragraph which fol-
lows. Mr.. j, being on one occasion
belated in the mountains of Georgia,
stopped at little cabin and asked a
nights shelter OF the owner, who was
sitting OF the front door in all the lux
ury of shirt sleeves and rush-bot-
toned chair tilted we'll back against the
wall. 1t was Hospitality accorded. A
supper consisting Of bacon and corn
bread was set before him; and the con-
versation turning upon the fine pasture
lands of that section, Mr.. j mod
estly insinuated that he would have
supposed it possible to keep COW Tor
the benefit Of the two children whom
he saw playing about the room.
"They don't need it; they are all
right as long as that thar lasts" said
the father, pointing with jerk Of his
thumb to barrel Of whisky sitting in
one corner. Properly Mortified, Mr..
j expostulated, but in vain. eft
keeps 'em screwed up like q fiddle all
the time" explained the fond parent
This incident led to some further talk
about the little ones, and Mr.. j NJ
fably asked their names.
"Ihis here one" here the mother

cuse his looks, was named for my paw

.angora Goats aot Wanted.

The most constant reports have been
made since the introduction of Angora
goats, many years ago, of the great profits
from their breeding. Yet, after man has
bitten. he unhooks himself as quickly as
possible. Again, the patriotism of the
American is called on from the standpoint
that manufacturers are obliged to import
mohair quite heavily from Turkey and
Cape Colony to supply their demands;
that goats are less hardy, less liable to dis
ease, and better able to pick up their own
living on the range and to protect them
selves from wild animals than sheep; that
the Angora goat seems to be prominently
the animal suited for the range; that it's
fleece will bring in handsome revenue
each year, and will live-no man knows
how long,"
Nevertheless, ranchman will calmly go
on raising cattle and horses and let gudgeons
go on nibbling at the mohair- baited hook.
The fact is, our agriculture will not yet
allow us to work as cheaply as the noun
tains Of Turkey or Cape Colony.-Chicago

Fecding BFdM Nth Meal.
Experienced breeders know that fatten-
ing animals forced too fast become
csloyed, and not only do not receive full
benefit from their food, but it becomes
clogged in their stomachs and actually
does harm rather than good. 1t is WE'LL
ascertained fact that on the particles of
food brought in contact with saliva are
digested. andin whole grain or grain meal
this food is too compact 10 allow the saliva
to penetrate it. just here is where small
amount of bran is so beneficial. 1t is light
and porous. serving in winter much the
same purpose that fresh grass does in sum-
mer. All feeders know that little meal
given to fattening animals at grass has q
wonderful effect. The green heritage is
not only nutritious itself, but it makes other
food more easily direstible.

THE GARDENER.
Hints for the Garden.

The important question with the fruit
gardener is the destruction of insects. All
schemes for their wholesale destruction
seem to prove failures. hence our best
hopes are in their individual destruction.
The different kinds of moths and flies may
be entrapped by the thousand in the per-
seyerng employment of wide-mouthed bot
ties of sweet liquids hung about the trees.
The curculio, whose most tempting
a,lurements do not lie like moths in the
way Of sweet food, but in finding nice
Juicy nest, or resting place, for the deposit
of eggs wherewith to perpetuate its species,
can be slain by the hundreds through per-
severance in tho shaking process. A snag.
made by saving of small branch few
inches from the main trunk of the tree,
which to hammer. or otherwise the bark
of the tree would be irreparably injured.
With a sheet spread under the tree, and a
sharp, quick jar with hammer, all the
nests then on the tree may be secured and
destroyed.
The curculios are rather lazily inclined,
but still few will come from your neigh
bors trees, though q few jarrin gs OCCASION
ally will, keep them down. Experience has
shown that this course, which only demands
a little labor, is much more etfectual than
the thousand schemes that have been de-
vised for hanging various charms alb out
the branches.
Watch newly-planted fruit trees. Ii
they have but few weak leaves, it shows
that the roots have been injured. Then
prune them severely, which will make
them grow freely. It should be main
object to make all transplanted trees not
merely to have leaves, but to have new
shoots at the earliest possible moment. If
they are growing we'll, they may be allowed
to perfect few specimens of fruit. Over
bearing on newly planted tree is one Of
the best ways of making it stunted for
years. .,
Handsome forms are rs desirable in fruit
as in ornamental trees. No winter prun-
ing will do this exclusively. 1t is summer
pinchine which clothes the skeleton with
beauty. A strong shoot soon draws all
nutrinent to itself. Never allow one
shoot to grow that wants to be larger than
the others. Equality must be insisted on.
Pinch out always as soon es they appear
such as would push too strongly ahead, and
keep doing so until the new buds seem
stronger than the others.
Where water can be commanded, nothing
is more profitable than to soak the soil
around small fruits, especially about the
time they have set their fruit. Much Of
the value of this operation will depend on
the nature of the soil. The advantages
are least in tenacious and greatest in o
porous soil. Animals derive most benefit
&ona food when they are hungry before

THE FORESTER.
Poo1nr ana Co,to,,,cood.

Poplar ana COffONtEOOn.
Poplar is one Of the desirable Southern
woods of which there seems to be limit
to the supply. 1t has already reached a
point where large users are looking out for
u substitute. Some of the st. Louis chair
manufacturers, who have been large con-
sumers of poplar lumber, have lately been
making trial of cottonwood, and they are
SO we'll pleased with it that they will in
future be likely to use more of it than of
the more costly material whose place it
takes. Cottonwood dimension has also
come into favor in that city among the
manufacturers of wooden pumps, who are
employing it very successfully. The rec
ommendation of cheapness, as compared
with other available material, possesses rs
much weight with them as with the chair
men.
It is said to require very close examina-
ton to distinguish certain varieties of cot
tonwood from poplar: it seems to possess
about all the desirable qualities which
have made the latter SO useful and valu-
able, and to claim besides some merits Of
its own. It is said to have smoother
surface even than poplar, and to be better
adapted to receiving paint 1t is found in
a good many sections of the South, grow
ing more or less plentifully in all the bot
tom lands of the Mississippi and tributaries.
1t reaches large size; single trees yield
from 1900 to 5000 feet of manufactured
lumber. The difference in cost between
this wood and poplar is bound to bring it
into market in competition with the latter
very generally. In st. Louis, where it is
now selling to considerable extent, cot
tonwood brings $14, answering precisely
the same purpose as poplar, for which $lS
is paid.
Small trades in this wood have been
lately made in Chicago, and it is reported
now that some large contracts are under
negotiation, their contamination depend
ing to some extent upon the obtaining of a
favorable rate Of freight from the Ten
nessee mills to Chicago. There are said
to be immense quantities Of this timber
standing in Tennessee, all of it situated
near streams, and most Of it in locations
which make it accessible to market. The
production of it, SO far, has been small
Comparatively, though the few mills which
are cutting it have found no trouble in
marketing what they have made. AS the
merit of the wood becomes more generally
known, there is no reason why cottonwood
should not occupy prominent and emi-
nently respectable place in the list of
valuable Southern timbers.-Ihe Timber

years caused the ages of animals TO be en-
actly gwen when entered, and the weights
nave been as carefully preserved. The
same plan was subsequently adopted by
the American Fat Stock Show. Here, as
there. it has been demonstrated not only
that the young classes have made the best
gains but the meat put on most cheaply.
Naturally SO, since the digestive powers
are most vigorous, and loss from daily

the relative gains of various ages of cattle
from the published reports of the Fat

Definit results obtained from the various
improved breeds are not so we'll known.
Hence the following, carefully prepared
from Smithiield's records for the London

youngest classes only are taken, and those
breeds only are dealt with which lend them
